Wahoo kickr snap 2017 "route mode" issues?

I would appreciate a feedback based on your testing experience on a Wahoo kickr snap 2017 unit.
I have recently bought a wahoo kickr snap 2017 (refurbished).
Overall it seems to be working fine except in "route mode".
Using my Wahoo Elemnt to control it, I tried to ride my usual local route (recorded on a real ride) which includes a 3mi 12% constant grade hill. Despite the unit offers some resistance according to the grade, I was able to ride the 3mi 12% segment averaging something around 20mi/h with an output wattage of less than 300 (74kg rider)
I can usually average something like 10mi/h on that section!!
I just wanted to know whether "route mode" has some limitation in this scenario or I am facing a real issue with this unit.
I haven't had the chance to try out any platform such as Zwift and I am wondering if I could have a problem in this scenario as well.
thanks

Just an update on SW versions (latest up to date)
Elemnt SW version: WF42-1985
Kickr Snap SW version: 2.3.62
Still facing the same issue, Wahoo Elemnt seems not to be able to control the Kickr in SIM mode when trying to ride a route.
Anyone having the same issue?
(As Wahoo support suggested I only have one paired device at a time, when I am using Elemnt every other Bluetooth device is OFF...)
I also tried the SIM mode directly from Wahoo Fitness app.
When I get into the SIM page and start increasing gradient I can feel proper resistance for that gradient, but then if I leave SIM page (eg go to ERG mode) and then go back to SIM page, then there is no resistance until I start increasing or decreasing gradient.
Everything seems so erratic...If I have the chance I will try it with Zwift...I am worried I might have similar issues...0 -
Hello,
I give here the answer as I have found out from Wahoo customer service.
The problem was that the Kicker Snap was paired through ANT rather than through BTLE.
Repairing with BTLE solved the issue.
